I'd like to tell you all just a little bit about my background. i grew up
In the southeastern part of oklahoma. in a little bitty town called
Chockie. it was little it only had 18 people it. that's 18 people not
1800. we're talkin' small. in that town in southeastern oklahoma we had
A lot of fun growin' up us kids. there was 3 things that my mama and
Daddy always taught us. number one they taught us to work hard. number
Two they told us if you ever start a job - you finish it. and number
Three they said once you start that job you give it 110% of everything
You have. and we did. not only is my daddy a hard workin' man but my mama
Is a hard workin' woman. and that's what she instilled in us three girls
Was to be hard workin' women. now that's not to say we didn't have a lot
Of fun 'cause we did. why i can remember gettin' in that closet. puttin'
On them high-heeled shoe

And i wanna dedicate it to all the hard-workin' women with us tonight!
Tumble outta bed and i stumble to the kitchen
Pour myself a cup of ambition
And yawn and stretch and try to come to life
I jump in the shower and the blood starts pumpin'
Out on the street the traffic starts jumpin'
For folks like me on the job from 9 to 5

Workin' 9 to 5
What a way to make a livin'
Barely gettin' by
It's all takin' and no givin'
They just use your mind
And they never give you credit
It's enough to drive you
Crazy if you let it
9 to 5 for service and devotion
You would think that i
Would deserve a fair promotion
Want to move ahead
But the boss won't seem to let me
I swear sometimes that man is
Out to get me

Well they let you dream just to watch 'em shatter
You're just a step on the boss man's ladder
But you've got dreams he'll never take away
Well you're in the same boat with a lot of your friends
Waitin' for the day the ship to come in
And the tide's gonna turn and it's all gonna roll your way

Workin' 9 to 5
What a way to make a livin'
Barely gettin' by
It's all takin' and no givin'
They just use your mind
And they never give you credit
It's enough to drive you
Crazy if you let it
9 to 5 for service and devotion
You would think that i
Would deserve a fair promotion
Want to move ahead
But the boss won't seem to let me
I swear sometimes that man is
Out to get me

9 to 5 they got you where they want you
There's a better life
And you think about it don't ya
It's a rich man's game
No matter what they call it
And you'll spend your life
Puttin' money in his wallet

(sung by background singers)
Workin' 9 to 5

Crazy if you let it
9 to 5 for service and devotion
You would think that i
Would deserve a fair promotion
Want to move ahead
But the boss won't seem to let me
I swear sometimes that man is
